Comparing Tone and Style

This worksheet presents two passages-one informational and one narrative-and asks students to compare purpose, tone, structure, and style. Learners analyze how these elements differ between an informational article and a science-themed story. They answer questions that require close reading and comparison of text features. This helps students understand how authors adapt writing choices to achieve different goals. The worksheet develops critical thinking by encouraging students to examine how purpose affects tone and structure.
